In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
But now Emperor Zhao blurted out the three words "Jieshi Zhong" and clearly knew the details of this position, which can only mean one thing - the Emperor wants to re-establish the position, or is considering re-establishing the position of Jieshi Zhong.
This means that there will be obvious changes in the power structure within the court.
Isn't this enough to shock everyone?
In comparison, Emperor Zhao's description of the court report using the word "Jieshi Zhong" seems much more absurd.
After all, the court bulletin was just a court bulletin, a collection of official public information sent by the Honglu Temple to various central departments and foreign envoys and generals. Even before Emperor Zhao ordered it to be handed over to the Honglu Temple for special handling, it was basically a miscellaneous work for the subordinates of a provincial government.
It was because the government paid attention to him that he gained some status.
The entire official report system, or even the entire Honglu Temple, is probably not as important as a Jieshi Zhong. This naturally makes people feel that the official's words are incredible.
"I have always wondered if I could make the official newspaper into something serious."
Zhao Jiu seemed to have guessed the thoughts of many people beside him and behind him, and he did not try to hide it, but continued to walk forward while talking nonsense. "Use woodblocks and movable type, print thousands or tens of thousands of copies at a time... Every county magistrate has a copy, every county school has a copy, and every slightly larger town has a copy. In the capital cities of prefectures and counties, unemployed officials and wealthy scholars who want to subscribe can also be given a copy... It not only contains personnel changes and public memorials, but also a special page for them to submit articles and discuss academic classics, and another page for publishing poems and songs... After a long time, it becomes a habit, and then it can publish important new decrees of the court and the results of war..."
At this point, Zhao Jiu suddenly stopped and turned back, and asked the already flustered Hu Quan sternly: "Mr. Hu, do you think this kind of court report should have a secretary?"
Hu Quan nodded blankly, but then suddenly realized something, and then he saluted on the spot: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be the secretary of the imperial court."
"Then you can take on the job of the Honglu Temple." Zhao Jiu nodded in response. "In fact, I originally wanted to let Scholar Lin handle this matter, but as an internal official, his status is too important, and it would be eye-catching if he did this... You go there, try this idea first and see if it works. Take one step at a time. If you encounter any difficulties, go directly to find Scholar Lin."
When Zhao Jiu said the last sentence, he turned around and glanced at several close ministers behind him, but in the end, his gaze fell on Lin Jingmo... and this obviously made Wanqi Yuanzhong a little disappointed. With the latter's intelligence, how could he not know that if this official report could really be completed, it would be an important thing?
Hu Quan bowed again and Lin Jingmo also stepped forward and saluted.
Having said this, Zhao Jiu, who had been tired for the whole day, finally showed some signs of fatigue. He said goodbye to several close ministers behind him and asked them to go home and rest early. Then he mounted his horse and, escorted by dozens of loyal cavalry squadrons in front of the emperor, headed north along the Imperial Street back to the palace.
After the government team left, only a few close ministers were left. Hu Quan received the instructions, but had something on his mind, so he just said goodbye to the remaining people, got on his donkey, and hurried back to the small house he had bought.
The rest of the people also dispersed.
However, Lin Jingmo and Wanqi Xie declined the armored warriors left behind by the government, and only took one or two of their own followers with them, walking side by side for a few steps along the way.
When they reached an intersection, Wanqi Xie suddenly spoke in the twilight:
"The government seems to be a little too hasty these days, and seems to have lost its sense of proportion. I wonder why?"
"Maybe there is a reason." Lin Jingmo responded on the spot, but that was all.
Wanqi Xie nodded without further investigation. The two of them parted ways from then on, each with their own thoughts.
Without mentioning the separation of Lin and Wanqi, on the other hand, in the Imperial College, because the Imperial College was expanded when the country was prosperous in the past, there were many houses, and many officials chose to stay overnight.
Among them, there was an important official who openly moved into the residence of Chen Gongfu, the chief academician of the Imperial College, and slept on the same bed with Chen Gongfu. He was none other than the Chief Censor of the dynasty, Li Guang Li Taifa.
It turned out that the two were from the same hometown and close friends, and they were only two years apart in age and had always been friendly with each other.
In this case, it is no wonder that after Taixue turned from virtual to real, many people watched Chen Gongfu occupy such an important position, but no one could do anything to him.
"Why is Brother Guozuo (Chen Gongfu's name) so tactful today and let the emperor off so easily?" The two of them went to their respective beds, and Li Guang was the first to laugh and tease. "With such an attitude, wouldn't it be a betrayal of your own reputation as a straight-forward person, and also a betrayal of the remnants of Li Gongxiang's gang?"
Chen Gongfu also laughed when he heard this.
It turns out that this Chen Gongfu, Chen Jijiu, who was the first place in the upper-level examination (which is equivalent to the top scholar) after the implementation of the Three-Shed System at that time, was also a person with a fierce temper. Not to mention his youth, he was promoted to the position of You Sijian (a low-level Jieshi Zhong) during the Jing Kang period. He has always been a bold and outspoken advocate of war. He has argued with the prime minister in the court many times and refuted Yuansheng (Song Qinzong) face to face.
Therefore, after the peace faction came to power, they simply exiled him in the name of Li Gang's remnants.
Later, when Li Gang came to power, he transferred him back from other places to serve as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, in preparation for settling down the country one day and having him take control of the key position of the Imperial College... and judging from this action and today's results, his identity as a remnant of Li Gang has undoubtedly been confirmed.
However, after Chen Gongfu finished laughing, he suddenly asked back on the couch:
"Does Taifa really think I'm a remnant of Li Gongxiang?"
Li Guang was slightly startled and was about to say something else.
But Chen Gongfu did not wait for the other party to speak, and spoke again: "Then is Taifa himself a remnant of Li Gongxiang?"
